State whether the following is true or false.
Sintering shrinkage must be allowed for when a green part is machined.

  • A.False
  • B.True only at large scales
  • C.False only at small scales
  • D.True

Answer: D

Correct answer: True

A green part shrinks by roughly a seventh in each linear dimension on firing, so any feature machined to a finished size before sintering will come out undersized. Green machining is done to oversized dimensions calculated from the expected shrinkage, and anything needing close tolerance is ground after firing instead - expensively, since a dense ceramic is very hard.
